Cellular membranes can form two principally different involutions, which either exclude or
contain cytosol. The 'classical'budding reactions, such as those occurring during …

Peroxisomes are subcellular organelles that play a central role in human physiology by
catalyzing a range of unique metabolic functions. The importance of peroxisomes for human …

Organelles compartmentalize eukaryotic cells, enhancing their ability to respond to
environmental and developmental changes. One way in which organelles communicate and …

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global health problem with rising incidence and
prevalence. Among several pathogenetic mechanisms responsible for disease progression …

Dietary mono-unsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) are linked to longevity in several species. But
the mechanisms by which MUFAs extend lifespan remain unclear. Here we show that an …

Lipid mobilization through fatty acid β-oxidation is a central process essential for energy
production during nutrient shortage. In yeast, this catabolic process starts in the peroxisome …

Lipid droplets are cytosolic fat storage organelles present in most eukaryotic cells. Long
regarded merely as inert fat reservoirs, they are now emerging as major regulators of …

Lipid droplets are dynamic intracellular lipid storage organelles that respond to the
physiological state of cells. In addition to controlling cell metabolism, they play a protective …

After having been disregarded for a long time as inert fat drops, lipid droplets (LDs) are now
recognized as ubiquitous cellular organelles with key functions in lipid biology and beyond …

Contacts between organelles create microdomains that play major roles in regulating key
intracellular activities and signaling pathways, but whether they also regulate systemic …
